The actual braking force has an increasing period when it follows the positive efficiency line and a holding period when it stays constant as current decreases to the holding threshold. If the vehicle does not meet an exclusion requirement and the required braking force is rising, the controller switches from the increasing period to the holding period when the actual braking force matches the target braking force. It switches back to the increasing period when the difference between the actual and target braking forces reaches a predetermined threshold.

A first power supply unit rectifies, to first DC power, external AC power that is wirelessly received by a power receiving coil using magnetic coupling. The first power supply unit supplies the converted first DC power to one or more loads as main power. A second power supply unit is connected to an input stage of the first power supply unit, and outputs second DC power used for control of the first power supply unit. This makes it possible to stably ensure the second DC power used for control of the first power supply unit even if the one or more loads are configured to receive power from the first power supply unit.
An onboard high-voltage system includes a temperature-increase device, a high-voltage auxiliary device, an electronic control unit. The temperature-increase device is connected to the high-voltage battery through an electric circuit. The temperature-increase device is capable of executing a battery temperature-increase operation to increase a temperature of the high-voltage battery by turning on and off a switching element included in the temperature-increase device to charge and discharge the high-voltage battery. The high-voltage auxiliary device is connected to the electric circuit, and is driven by power supplied from the high-voltage battery. The electronic control unit executes a warm-up operation to warm up a smoothing capacitor included in the high-voltage auxiliary device or the temperature-increase device prior to the battery temperature-increase operation, and prevents a voltage fluctuation or a current fluctuation during the battery temperature-increase operation from exceeding a tolerance value of each component in the high-voltage auxiliary device.
B60L 58/25 - Methods or circuit arrangements for monitoring or controlling batteries or fuel cells, specially adapted for electric vehicles for monitoring or controlling batteries for controlling the temperature of batteries by controlling the electric load
B60L 50/60 - Electric propulsion with power supplied within the vehicle using propulsion power supplied by batteries or fuel cells using power supplied by batteries
A heat pump cycle apparatus includes a compressor, an upstream branch part, a heating unit, an outside air heat exchanger, an upstream decompression unit, a downstream decompression unit, a bypass passage, and a bypass-side flow rate adjusting unit. In a heating mode of heating a heating target, a refrigerant decompressed in the upstream decompression unit flows into the outside air heat exchanger, and the refrigerant is caused to absorb heat of outside air in the outside air heat exchanger. In a defrosting mode of removing frost on the outside air heat exchanger, one refrigerant branched at the upstream branch part is caused to flow into the outside air heat exchanger to dissipate heat, and the refrigerant decompressed at the downstream decompression unit and the refrigerant flowing out of the bypass-side flow rate adjusting unit are mixed and sucked into the compressor.
